📋 About This Mod
The Viking afterlife is great, but chopping down one solitary tree at a time while dodging constant Greydwarf ambushes can really get exhausting. The Surtling Helm is a new piece of equipment that throws away all that silly balance and pacing, cranks everything up to 13, and lets you rain nuclear death across the land.

[]Find a basic workbench and craft your purple hood of imminent death! (for a one-time fee of Surtling Cores, Troll Hide, Linen Thread, and Surtling Trophies)
